Subject: Re: [dita] Select attributes on conref'ed element
Michael is correct. The toolkit will pull attributes from the target element, unless those same attributes are specified locally. So, <p audience="localaud" conref="#topic/p"/> <p audience="targetaud" id="p" platform="targetplat">.......</p> will become <p audience="localaud" platform="targetplat">.......</p> <p audience="targetaud" id="p" platform="targetplat">.......</p> There are only a couple of exceptions. First, we do not pull in the ID of the target element. Second, if an attribute is required, it must be specified on the first, referencing element. If that is the case, we will not use it to override the target. So, for example, in this case: <topichead navtitle="" conref="sample.ditamap#othertopichead"/> the navtitle from the conref target will still be pulled in. If you look for topichead in the conref.xsl file, you will see a list of all required attributes that will not be saved by the conref processor.

This should be in the spec but isn't.

If the referenced element also has selection attributes, are those to be respected by the publishing engine as well? Paul Prescod
